I've even tried those carbide tip cross groove plotter pens (basically what
was said to be the best). It didn't work either, the trailing edge scratched
too much ink away from the copper. It might work great on paper, but wasn't
so good on copper.
Overall, the whole plotter ordeal was a huge waste of time and money.
Compare that to toner transfer, where i can consistently get much better
results, and i really can not recommend the plotting method. Sure, it
probably can work under certain circumstances, but you'll still be left with
many limitations.
